These old guy's are my Heroes 
You know the system is BS when the Oldies start fighting back
A 79-year-old man driving his 1999 Mitsubishi Magna sedan at 160km/h in a 100km/h zone has become Victoria's oldest hoon.
Police said they first spotted him near Kalkee, in Victoria's north-west, driving 160km/h about 1.25pm on Wednesday and finally pulled him over 23km from this sighting in Dooen.
His car will be seized under the hoon law and he will be charged on summons with driving at a dangerous speed and exceeding the speed limit, police said.
Police are dismayed that this is not an isolated incident and only in January nabbed a 78-year-old driving a hotted up Nissan Pulsar allegedly driving 170km/h in a 100km/h zone, in Warragul, east of Melbourne.
Sergeant Harrington said it was disappointing to see that senior members of the community were not leading by example.
"We're sick of hearing people's excuses. To drive at such a high speed is inexcusable, no matter what the circumstances," he said.
"To put people's safety, and your own, at such risk is really just toying with death."
Police have impounded 1,768 vehicles in 2009 and 8,345 since the new legislation was introduced in July 2006

If he'd been on a bike and not in a boring cage, had say, 63 years riding experience and was on, say a ZX12R or something like that, I wonder if the police would have caught him?
